Greetings. This is a reminder that, throughout the year, the Canberra Birds Conservation Fund invites applications for small grants for research, conservation and related projects.
What is the Canberra Birds Conservation Fund?
The Canberra Birds Conservation Fund has been established for the purpose of supporting the Canberra Ornithologists Group’s (COG's) environmental objects by receiving and disbursing tax deductible donations.
COG’s environmental objects are ‘to promote the conservation of native birds and their habitats’, with particular reference to the native birds and their habitats in the Canberra region.
What are the objectives of the Fund?
The specific environmental objectives of the Fund are
1. To encourage interest in, and develop knowledge of, the birds of the Canberra region
2. To promote and co-ordinate the study of birds
3. To promote the conservation of native birds and their habitats.
Who is eligible to apply for a grant from the Fund?
The Fund welcomes applications from individuals and organisations for grants to support projects that will contribute to achieving its environmental objectives described above. Applications may be submitted at any time of the year.
Applications for up to $3,000 are invited. Applications that meet all three of the Fund’s environmental objectives will be particularly favoured, especially those with a focus on the Canberra region.
